C. Chua's book provides a rare ethnographic insight into the work of Chinese journalists at a Beijing and Guangzhou-based weekly newspaper. . .All in all, although focused on China, the book's ethnographic insights and theoretical framing of news as currency would be of interest to researchers from around the world.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003eEuropean Journal of Communication\u003c\/i\u003e \"The book has four significant contributions to the journalism literature. First, it offers insights into the Chinese media system, which is understudied. Second, it explores an exciting conceptualization of the news as a currency. Third, it joins other scholars (Almiron, 2010; Anderson, 2013; Boyer, 2013; Henry, 2007; Carlson, 2017) in exploring the transformation of newsmaking influenced by technological advancement and expanding it to China. Fourth, the book offers an interesting insight into what the institution of news can be in a post-socialist society.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003eJournalism\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2: A Contested Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: From Propaganda to Publicness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4: An Ethic of Efficacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5: News as Currency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 6: The Newsmakers’ Jianghu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037099032919,"sku":"9780472055951","price":27.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780472055951.jpg?v=1750934407","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-currency-of-truth-newsmaking-and-the-latesocialist-imaginaries-of-chinas-digital-era-9780472055951","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
